> No plan that I know of.  Is the LSI scsi device not supported by Solaris?

Yeah, there was a short thread about it last July
(http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg01633.html).  The
jist of it is that 64-bit OpenSolaris no longer supports the 53c895a
SCSI controller.  According to that thread, the 53c1010 is what VMWare
uses, and OpenSolaris still uses that.

I don't really understand how a VM exposes a virtual device to a
hosted OS, but I assume that it involves looking at a driver for a
piece of hardware and then writing some code that emulates the
behaviour expected by that driver?  I would think AHCI would be a
great way to go, if that's the case, since it would be an actual
implementation of a standard instead of an arbitrary card.  Does kvm
use the qemu source for its drivers, or is there a separate source
tree for it now?  I could at least have a look at the LSI driver so I
have some idea what I'm talking about...
